According to the Texas manual, what do warning signs do for drivers?
-
A.
Indicate the maximum speed permitted by law
-
B.
Instruct drivers what they must or must not do
-
C.
Provide direction to public recreation areas
-
D.
Alert drivers to conditions that are immediately ahead Correct
The answer is "Alert drivers to conditions that are immediately ahead"
Warning signs alert drivers to conditions immediately ahead and tell them what to look for. Choice B is the trap for a reader who has just finished the regulatory-signs section on the same page: 'instruct drivers what they should, or should not do' is the exact framing used there, one heading up.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Indicate the maximum speed permitted by law
Legal maximum speeds are posted on white regulatory signs, not on yellow warning signs. This answer groups every number on a roadside sign under the label of legal speed limit.
B. Instruct drivers what they must or must not do
Instructing drivers what to do is the manual's description of regulatory signs, not warning signs. This answer carries over phrasing from the regulatory-signs section that appears one heading earlier on the same page.
C. Provide direction to public recreation areas
Public recreation and scenic guidance is the function the manual assigns to brown signs. This answer substitutes the brown-sign color function from the color table above the warning-signs heading.
